5.0 out of 5 stars Very good 16 July 2010
By Dmitry Pozhidaev
Format:Hardcover
This is probably the most comprehensive collection of the methods and applications used for sampling of population. I cannot think of any sampling situation (however complex) that would not be described in this book. I found this book very useful when developing a sampling framework for a survey of refugees in the West Bank (Palestine). I came up with a simpler methodology and a smaller sample size (at the same confidence level) than originally proposed, thanks to the methods described in this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Read But too many Errors 10 April 2006
By Wing - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is very practical. It is easy to get along as all the formulas are summarized in a nice way.

However, I am very disappointed because I found a lot of errors in the book. I can't believe I am reading a third edition book with such many errors. Most of the errors are typos. But some of the errors are even in the formulas. That means if you follow these wrong formulas, you get wrong answer!

I will report the major errors I found here:

(1)P147 The first two equations are for "Total" (Not "Mean"), the second two equations are for "Mean" (Not "Total").

(2)P149 The first equation, on the left handside, it should be "SE_hat(X_str')" not (SE_hat(X_str_bar)).

(3)P149 The third equations, under square root, there should be a summation from h=1 to L.

(4)P170 equation 6.20. The right most term should be "((N-N_h)/N)", not ((N-n_h)/N).

I havent finished the book yet. I will keep posting the errors as I read along.

4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and to the point. 27 Jan 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The best thing about this book is that it summarizes all the equations in boxes throughout the book. Therefore you don't have to hunt down the equations you need, unlike with many other statistics books. The book's explanations are clear and to the point, and therefore makes a great desk reference.

The one sole downside to this text is its price. $90 is a bit steep for this small light weight volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Practitioner's Resource 30 Jun 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Levy and Lemeshow's text provides practitioners with precise formulas and terrific insights into alternative sampling methods. The exercises at the end of the chapters are particularly useful.
